I am Coriander and I have watched Odysseus over his 20year battle. I watched him and his men board the ship, and when he returned I watched him, only him get off the ship lonely with his head down. I will continue watching him till death to see how he is doing since his return. Now when he returned to most people he may have had a mistake, by not telling Penelope that he has returned. But that’s not really a mistake, he had heard that his wife had many men/suitors living in his house trying to marry his wife. When he got there after 20yrs he was dressed like a poor old beggar, so no one would notice him or notice he has made his return. To kind of I guess catch people on what their doing, how they act, and who they really are with no leader to lead them to the right path. He found that some of the things were different, but the thing that surprised him most was his beloved wife. He would have expected her of all people to wait for him to return, then to change her life style. He knew with all his heart that he loved her, and needed to get her back. I could see the passion running through his veins. Now if I was in his position at the time, I would have done almost the same thing. Now killing the suitors was something I’d leave out maybe just the one that made him the most upset, but all of them was just uncalled for. It made me feel sorry for all the suitors because they didn’t deserve that they thought he wasn’t coming back so why would they care if he was not back for 20 years, it was like they had a right, but he should have been treated with more respect from some of them. He may have held back who he really was the whole time a little to long. She may have had an easier time believing him if he had come out with it earlier. But keeping it for a little gave him a chance to see how everything was with out him. Now I guess I am the goddess of marriage and relationships, but he got her back after all. I always knew what they had was true!
I picked mostly red and orange colors for everything because, I think red and orange are very passionate colors, and because love and romance are passionate colors. Also they remind me of fire, and fire is hot, like a real love/romance should be.
